His controversial post

On Monday, Piers Morgan shared a picture of Daniel Craig wearing his baby in a carrier. Apparently, the TV host was so shocked by the image that he said, #emasculatedBond, basically implying that the actor was somehow less of a man for carrying his own child.

Many people, including fathers, were enraged by Morgan's tweet. They did not understand why Morgan would want to attack Craig, who has a new baby daughter with actress Rachel Weisz. The incident ignited the issue of stereotypes that often discourage fathers from being involved in raising their children because it somehow makes them less manly.

Morgan implied that Craig had no business wearing his child like that, in other words, it should be a woman's job.

An adorable response

Morgan's tweet offended fathers who came for the TV personality and made it very clear that they saw nothing unmanly about being an involved father. Actor Chris Evans was one of those who commented and also lashed out at Morgan, saying the tweet must have come from a place of insecurity.

You really have to be so uncertain of your own masculinity to concern yourself with how another man carries his child. Any man who wastes time quantifying masculinity is terrified on the inside. https://t.co/9jsHZ3WKRn

Twitter dads were quite disturbed by Morgan's insinuation that carrying one's child is now seen as emasculating. In response, they shared pictures of themselves wearing their babies proudly as Craig did.

Wow, how odd that you would think a well designed object to safely carry your baby is effeminate rather than just a practical device, like a car seat for example. Your view shows a warped sense of patriarchy that is baffling in 2018.

How behind the times are you? I was using a papoose when my now 25-year-old was an infant. They're good for your back, and leave your hands free to fight off any marauders or to carry the shopping (or things you've picked or killed with your bare hands).
